Mr. Hayden explained that, under the terms of the Will,

Motion by Mr. Grant carried unanimously that the Trust Of-
ficer for the Estate be informed that the Regents request
that the house in Tonopah, Nevada, be sold; that the desig-
nated sum be paid to the Catholic Church in Tonopah; and
that Court and closing costs be paid. It was further moved
and carried unanimously that the list of stocks and bonds
be turned over to the committee appointed to advise the
University on investments (minutes of February 8, 1954) with
the request that the committee list the securities in the
order of their value, with recommendations for holding or
disposing of them.
Student Union Building
Letters were presented from the Student Committee and the
Faculty Committee approving the architect's drawing of the
Student Union building (Regents minutes of March 12, 1954).
The letter from the Faculty Committee contained the follow-
ing paragraph, however, in which the Regents assembled con-
curred:
The plan as it now exists would appear to call for the
excavation and the rearrangement of the boiler room
under the auditorium as an alternate. It is our feeling
that it would be preferable to invite bids on the ex-
cavated arrangement and to call for the unexcavated
arrangement as an alternate. We may arrive at the same
result in either case, but it is our feeling that it
would be preferable to indicate that the excavated ar-
rangement was most to be desired.
It was agreed unanimously that the Planning Board be in-
formed of the general approval of the two committees and
also of the above suggestion and the concurrence of the
Board of Regents in the suggestion.
The meeting adjourned at 1:25 P.M.
